Am I doing something wrong? How do I add my own EQ based on what I see in the graph?
REW only suggests filters to eliminate 'peaks'. It won't automatically consider 'dips' or attempt to boost any part of the response. To remove a dip you have to add a manual filter and adjust the corrected response to suit.

Remember that most dips and notches won't respond in reality to boost. Use only a few dB in gain when attempting to remove a dip as it lowers headroom and worsens your signal to noise ratio. Too much gain can cause clipping.

Manual filters are easy to enter. You may also adjust the automatic filters to suit. Just bring up the filter panel and tweak. Any filters above 500Hz would have to be entered manually, although filtering at frequencies that high usually isn't too successful and could be better served by using room treatment and sometimes equalizers can help.
